Seat Back Pocket Discovery

Hey everyone, first post here. Please let me know if this is common knowledge and I will remove this post.

Ever since picking up my Trialmaster a month ago, my wife and kid have been complaining about not having a seat back pocket.
They often use it for books and random stuff.

I see that some brands have come up with seat covers that integrate a rear pocket, but as car designer, I can't stand the look of car seat covers. Just really cheapens the look.

After looking at the IG seat panel, It did look very familiar. We did have a 2019 BMW X1 for 2 years and I remember it looking exactly like the IG seat back panel.

My Mother in Law actually owns one and I compared the dimensions. The seat back panels for the front seats on a 2019 BMW X1 are identical to the ones on the Grenadier except the BMW has a bungee mesh pockets.

I wanted to remove the IG panels to see if they mount the same, but judging by all the used Bmw panels available on eBay, it's easy to break off clips and tabs.

I attached images comparing the IG and X1 Panels. The mesh pocket area seems to be not removable.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Interesting, as the seats are Recaro in the IG.

Does this mean that the BMW seats are also done by Recaro, or is Recaro using BMW parts ??

Or is this some sort of generic panel from a third party supplier that any seat manufacturer can purchase.
